about
The Heart of South West Rocks Diving
At Fish Rock Dive centre, located in South West Rocks NSW Australia, we believe diving should be more than just time underwater — it should be an unforgettable adventure that connects you to the ocean in its purest form. That’s why we specialise in unique, eco-conscious dive tours designed to inspire, challenge, and stay with you for a lifetime.
From the moment you step aboard, you’ll discover why divers travel from all over Australia — and the world — to experience what we offer. Our signature cave dive takes you through a breathtaking 120-metre tunnel through an open ocean rock island called Fish Rock, one of the most extraordinary underwater passages in the country. Add to that schooling grey nurse sharks, graceful rays, and vibrant fish life, and you’ll see why South West Rocks is a must-dive destination.

What Divers Say About Us
"Not to be missed adventure for divers, the sharks and fish are extraordinary! FRDC provide excellent quality gear in great condition, they cater to divers who feel the cold too with plenty of warm wetsuit options. "
We were given clear dive briefs and a plan to ensure everyone got through the cave safely. We went out on their large RIB which handles the sea and bar crossing very well. We didn't see the hoped for Hammerheads (that's wildlife for you) but I will never forget the sight of dozens of Grey Nurse sharks bisecting columns of Ladderfin Pomfrets within a stream of sunshine. Nor will I forget the thrill of suddenly 'seeing' the rocks underneath me were actually the resting place of a 2m Wobbiegong (one of many, many of these experts in camo to be seen around the rock). So many fish to be seen, cowtail rays, sponges and black coral too. So much pretty stuff on the walls but we spent most of our time shark gazing! We also enjoyed South West Rocks, the off leash dog friendly beaches and the walks in Arakoon. All round great week.

"There are many things in life that are rare, and it's those things we need to appreciate."
Well guided dives through schools of fish and sharks, having giant Queensland gropers circle you throughout the dive, and most importantly, having dive operators as friendly and as excited to dive as these guys!
Can't rate these dives enough, and can't rate the legends who run it enough!
Cheers Pete, had an awesome time!

"Diving with Pete and Bia was the best decision to go to this little paradise in Australia..."
2 very responsible people, they provide all the necessary safety. They made my dive incredible, we were so lucky with them to see so many sharks, rays, manta rays, leopard sharks, guitar sharks.
I left the cave with total safety... and with a view exactly like the photos. A gift from nature...
I highly recommend them. They helped us with location and everything we needed besides diving... punctual, friendly.
Their boat pilot was very experienced, he gave us all the safety for the boat's return.. It was formidable... I don't recommend any other place. Fish Rock is for you Pete and Bia.

"Very well organised dive center with terrific dive guides and a good skipper who got us to our destination fast and safe in a choppy sea. "
Our dive guide Bia took the tine to explain everything carefully and make everyone feel safe and comfortable. The dives were fantastic with very good visibility. If it only wasn't so cold! Haha. Make sure you get a 7mm wetsuit. No matter what they say and make sure to get a hood and gloves as well, you won't regret it.
